Help with ranking
-
Hi Board users!
I have a site that I don't understand why its not ranking. Its called JohnnyJet.com
It has great domain authority and plenty of links. Looking at google webmaster tools I don't think there is a penalty. I have not done black hat stuff, so I am puzzled.
I have a subdomain that stores some of my old content (some of it is duplicate) http://vintage.johnnyjet.com/home.asp
The site has been around for ever, and I need help with a site audit to see what it is that I am missing. I know my long tail should rank much better.
2 questions:
1. Can you guys (board members) send me any insights if you take a peek
2. Can you tell me where to go to get an in-depth audit on my site -- I need a deep dive to get to the bottom of this
Thanks all!!

Hi,
Can you provide a list of some of the long tail phrases you think you should rank better for? By helping you with a few specific examples, we can likely help you better understand what you should be doing across the board.

Hi there.
First of all, you should not spect that people in this forum tell you every step to rank your site. You must learn and understand a little about SEO and Google. I'd suggest you to take a deep reading in the SEO: The beginner's Guide - Moz.
Also, recently there was posted an article stating all that a Junior SEO should know. There are lots of items that you should learn: An Essential Training Task List for Junior SEOs.
At first sight, I've spotted many errors with duplicate and/or missing and/or too long and/or too short: Titles, Meta descriptions and H1/H2. I was helped by Screaming frog tool. Also, checking at some other tools, there are plenty of rankings where your site appears. Screaming for help to get ranked is easy, you also should have said which search term is your interested to get better rankings.
And a last reminder: Backlinks aren't the only reason to be ranked well. Check out this ranking factors by moz.
Hope I've helped.
GR.

Hacked Websites (Doorways) Ranking First Page of Google
Hello Moz community! I could really use your help with some suggestions here with some recent changes I've noticed in the Google serps for terms I've been currently working on. Currently one of the projects I am working on is for an online pharmacy and noticed that the SERPs are being now taken up by hacked websites which look like doorways to 301 redirect to an online pharmacy the hacker wants the traffic to go to. Seems like they may be wordpress sites that are hacked and have unrelated content on their websites compared to online pharmacies. We've submitted these issues as spam to Google and within chrome as well but haven't heard back. When searching terms like "Canadian Pharmacy Viagra" and other similar terms we see this issue. Any other recommendations on how we can fix this issue? Thanks for your time and attached is a screenshot of the results we are seeing for one of our searches. 1Orus

Help with a Link Building Audit
A customer wants to have a better position with a keyword (he has already a great position, but he wants more...). So he need a bit of extra link building to have better position in serp(this niche is very competitive so on page is not sufficient).

He asked me to do a Link Building Analysis to find good link opportunities.
How can i structure a good report? I need something like a Seo Audit for link building. That's my idea:
Identify what are the business objectives
Identify the brand strenghts and weakness
Find the strongest competitors and understand their tactics
See what are the top links that they have
Copy their best strategies
Find new strategies not used by the competitors
What else i can do for my link building audit?0 -

Big Rank Drop - Is My Site Spammy?
Like many others one of our niche sites - aluminumeyewear.com got slammed in the recent algo updates (4/18). All of our pages dropped at least 40/50 places which seems like a penalty to me. The site still ranks for its name thankfully. I'm trying to figure out if this is an over-optimization penalty, or a devaluing of back links or both. I would be grateful if I could get some feedback as to whether you feel the site is over optimized and how I could check if sources of back links have been penalized which in turn has effected us? Thanks in advance!

Help for a complete SEO newbie!
Hi all, I've just joined seomoz today to try and further my very young education on SEO. My major problem is i need my site to rank high in local search engines but feel that none of the customers read much of the content as i am a landscaper and feel they just search "landscaping in Newcastle" and are immediatly looking for a contact number to arrange a free estimate. I dont do any online sales, its just to generate leads. I've spent alot of time building a better site than my local competitors but they still out rank me on alot of keywords i.e. "Driveways in Gateshead" My question is do i keep adding more and more content hoping this will work long term or do i link build with anchor text etc or both? I cannot believe they still out rank me when i feel i have more links more anchor text and a load more origional content and images. I think it may be that my site is still under 1 year old. I feel i am boucing from content to link building then trying something else without any real knowlegde of what i really should be doing or what should be the priority at this young stage for my site. I have managed to get on page 1 of google for most of my keywords in local searches ( obviously not national) but still feel its been more down to luck and effort than actually knowing what i am doing when it comes to site and offsite optimization Any help, tips etc would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks John
